Although she nurses the memory of the wrong she has suffered, Rose accepts the annuity which Trent settles upon her. The woman places her infant daughter Lillian under the kindly care of the Sisters of Mercy. Mrs. Trent dies shortly after the birth of her daughter, Dorothy. All of the father's great affection is centered upon the child. Dorothy grows up surrounded by every luxury. Years later, Rose Masters meets Trent's daughter socially. She sets about to punish the father through his child. The woman secures the aid of Gates, a gambler. As the result of their machinations, Dorothy, too young to realize what she is doing, falls victim to the lure of the gaming table. As a consequence of this plot, Dorothy is arrested in a raid upon a gambling hall. Trent is horror stricken when the morning papers apprise him of what has occurred. While Trent is bitterly upbraiding his daughter, Rose hastens to conduct Lillian to the scene. As the father turns from Dorothy, Rose enters with Lillian, who is the embodiment of innocence. To Rose's amazement, her daughter champions Dorothy. In vain Rose relates the story of the past. Lillian, brought up in an atmosphere apart from the world, firmly declares she will right the wrong done to Dorothy. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
